>             Project: mod_python
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: core
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.7
>            Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
>         Assigned To: Jim Gallacher
>             Fix For: 3.3, 3.2.10

>
> The test_Session_Session_conf() of test/test.py doesn't override the default 
> DBM session database name that would be used for prefork/worker MPM variants. 
> This means that if there is already an instance of Apache running as its 
> designated user which has already created the session database and the tests 
> are run as a different user, the test will fail. Further, if mod_python has 
> never previously been used and no session database exists, the test will 
> succeed, but when someone goes to use sessions in the installed mod_python, 
> it will fail in the case where the session database created by the test was 
> as a different user to that which Apache runs as.
> The test suite should ensure that it overrides any defaults and stores such 
> databases in test suite document tree. It should possibly also ensure that 
> such transient files are removed so as not to create a problem on subsequent 
> tests.
> Test might therefore be changed to:
>     def test_Session_Session_conf(self):
>         database = os.path.join(TESTHOME,"mp_sess_test.dbm")
>         c = VirtualHost("*",
>                         ServerName("test_Session_Session"),
>                         DocumentRoot(DOCUMENT_ROOT),
>                         Directory(DOCUMENT_ROOT,
>                                   PythonOption('session_dbm "%s"' % database),
>                                   SetHandler("mod_python"),
>                                   PythonHandler("tests::Session_Session"),
>                                   PythonDebug("On")))
>         return str(c)
